The new clip for Bertie Blackman’s ‘Boy’ goes alright huh? If anyone was going to do justice to what’s a pretty “deec” (the new hip way of saying decent! Get on it!) track about fitting in it’s our lady Blackman. I think there’s pretty definitely an underlying statement within the video too. It’s actually a really poignant social commentary on the opression of potato creatures in our society. How often are you walking down the street when you’ll hear one of the robo-tatoes yello an obscenity at an innocent potato man. Not cool. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that’s what this clip is about.
Seriously though, the clip is actually fantastic. It’s been put together by old mate Quan from Regurgitator and it’s pretty well animated. I’d be suprised if Blackman didn’t blow up, partly on the back of this but also because she’s got a fair bit of depth across her catalogue.
Not only that but she’s riding the unstoppable Gotye wave, plundering all in it’s wake as she joins the man himself on tour in December. And you know, maybe just fill up the time between on tour with hip indie buzzband The Rubens too huh? Seriously. Quit overachieving. You’re making us all look bad.
